Abstract
A simple, reliable heater-fuser station for fusing toner images upon relatively stiff, resilient and moist printing plates includes a curved heater-platen positioned between a pair of entrance squeegee rollers and a pair of exit rollers. The angles between the plate material and the surfaces of the heater-platen due to roller orientations are such that the high beam strength and resiliency characteristics of the wet plates are advantageously employed to maintain intimate contact between the leading and trailing edge portions, as well as centralized portions, of the plates and the heater-platen.
